The chat module contains some features to make chatting a little nicer.
Smilies
Any smiley faces (emoticons) that you can type elsewhere in Moodle
can also be typed in here and they will be displayed correctly. For example, :-) =
Links
Internet addresses will be turned into links automatically.
Emoting
You can start a line with "/me" or ":" to emote. For example, if your name is Kim and you
type ":laughs!" or "/me laughs!" then everyone will see "Kim laughs!"
Beeps
You can send a sound to other people by hitting the "beep" link next to their name. A useful
shortcut to beep all the people in the chat at once is to type "beep all".
HTML
If you know some HTML code, you can use it in your text to do things like insert images,
play sounds or create different coloured and sized text.
